Training teachers through innovative methodologies based in serious games

Training teachers through innovative methodologies based in serious games | Instructional Technology Tools | Scoop.it

When using the SimAULA platform, the teacher in training controls an avatar that interacts with student avatars (controlled automatically by SimAULA) in a virtual classroom, where lessons are taught and a series of situations liable to arise in a face-to-face environment are played out. By way of a specific example, the first version of SimAULA features a simulated biology class in which the teacher avatar has to help student avatars fulfil various learning goals.

In the future this could be be very useful for disciplines other than teaching.  I wonder if it will be flexible enough to replace some aspects of what we currently do in virtual worlds.

This re-Scoop from Nick Peachey. Looks like an interesting simulation/game.

We need to be mindful and aware of waht helps children and adults learn. It is not enough to hook up the technology and expect everyone to learn in one way.

The Smart workshop is best tuition agency and tuition centre offers A Level Economics tuition in Singapore. This tuition agency has been known for their obsessive, highly skilled and dedicated economics tutors.

Beth Case's comment, April 17, 12:56 PM
Technology is a TOOL, not a goal. Just because students learned before the invention of TV doesn't mean education can't be improved. While it can be annoying to jump on every new gimmick, it's just as annoying to be resistant to trying anything new.
